> IT giant Infosys recently blamed the denial of H-1B visas by United States (US) for part of its growing employee attrition

lol so funny. their main perk was chance to get h-1b visa and to blame us govt for not giving it to them.



I don't think they were blaming the government. Just citing it as one of the issues in their quarterly shareholder report.

One of the main ways these companies retain people was this: give the employee promise of onsite deputation if you work for 1-2 years in this project. Now the companies are forced to give them a decent raise or promotion or better projects.

It sucks for 2 people I know who had been working like that for the last 3-4 years. Their work day usually ends at midnight and sometimes 1 am-2am (instead of 6.45 pm). They stayed in that project because they thought one day they could go to US. Their employer applied for their visas, but got denied.


ah gotcha. sorry i misread your comment.
